    NB Front quarter panel replacement

    Hey guys!

    I'm trying to replace my passenger side front quarter panel and can't find any info about pulling it. Is it so simple that I won't need instructions or am I failing to find instructions? Thanks for any help!

    NA or NB? Here's a video for NAs:

    In both cases you should remove all bolts that are on top , along the edge. Then, open the door, there's an additional bolt there. Steer the wheel on the opposite direction to full lock and remove the clips that hold the wheel liner in place at the front, where the bumper meets the fender. There's an extra bolt in there, holding the fender and bumper together. I believe that's all.

    Almoat correct. There are two more on the bottom of the fender. Be extra careful while removing them, they tend to crack/shear/split/explode in your hands while undoing them. Ask me how I know.

    There's one bolt that you have to open the door to access with a long extension, IIRC, this blot doesn't have to be removed, just loosened.
